Evaluations
Thoughtful, professional evaluations conducted with care, clarity, and respect.
There are many reasons someone may need an evaluation, and no two situations are the same. At Chrysalis Recovery, we approach every evaluation with a grounded, supportive mindset, recognizing that this process can feel stressful or overwhelming. Our role is to provide clear, thorough, and unbiased evaluations while treating each client with dignity and understanding.
Evaluations may be:
-
Necessary following a positive drug or alcohol test for commercial drivers or other safety-sensitive positions
-
Or required for other personal, legal, or professional reasons
-
Self-referred
-
Court ordered
-
Attorney-recommended for a pending court case
-
Required by probation, parole, or drug court
-
Requested by DCYF
Our team also includes counselors with specialized certifications and training in areas such as Anger Management, Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) evaluations, and more—allowing us to thoughtfully match clients with the right level of care.
Experienced, Qualified Evaluators
Chrysalis Recovery is proud to have a highly qualified and diverse clinical team. Our evaluations are conducted by:
-

-
Master’s-level counselors with degrees in counseling or related fields who are actively completing their supervised hours toward LADC/MLADC licensure
-

This depth of experience allows us to provide thorough, ethical, and evidence-based evaluations tailored to each client’s needs and circumstances.

SAP Evaluation
A Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) evaluation is required for employees in safety-sensitive transportation roles (like CDL drivers, pilots, railroad workers) after a DOT drug/alcohol violation, but it also applies to other agency employees (FAA, FRA, FTA, USCG, PHMSA).
Who Needs a SAP Evaluation?
Anyone with a DOT Violation: Commercial drivers (FMCSA), pilots (FAA), railroad workers (FRA), transit operators (FTA), pipeline workers (PHMSA), and U.S. Coast Guard personnel.
